California Pastor Turns His Chapel Into a Strip Club To Be Deemed ‘Essential' - Booty poppin' for Jesus

Since the whole pandemic started, one of the more confusing aspects has been exactly what businesses and activities have been deemed “essential.” For example, in California, marijuana dispensaries and liquor stores have remained open, while gyms and churches have been shut down. Multiple churches in California have sued over the shutdown order and their “nonessential” designation, while others just defied the orders.

Strip club owners in the state have also challenged the shutdown order in court, saying that their businesses are “legally protected speech guaranteed by the First Amendment.” Then, on November 12, a San Diego Superior Court judge ordered that county to temporarily reopen strip clubs, pending a full hearing at the end of the month. So since being able to provide live adult entertainment is a protected right in at least one county, for at least a few weeks, might churches be able to use this ruling to their advantage?

Pastor Rob McCoy of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Ventura County decided to find out. So before his sermon, McCoy had striptease music piped in as he danced and gyrated on the pulpit, took his tie off, and then threw it into the congregation, many of whom were cheering and holding up dollar bills for their multi-talented pastor. After a few good laughs, McCoy’s message focused on what he called the increased persecution churches face during the pandemic shutdowns and the tyrannical rule being embraced by so many on both sides of the aisle.

I got to admit, well played on the pastor's part.

That's an easy, straightforward way to get donations.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

I hope he plays this during the um... services.

 

[Shitpiss Babylord]

When I read the title I hoped he'd go all the way and have strippers that started off dressed as nuns.
Sadly disappointed.

Of course it's California. Sex work is encouraged.

So... I'll make my church open, with blackjack and strippers, in fact forget about the church.

Should've just asked the black members of the congregation to wander the parking lot with bricks, torches, bike locks, etc - hey, it's a mostly peaceful protest now, it's okay! /sneed

So I guess the wisemen bought gifts of frankinsence, myrrh, and vaginosis.

Sex workers are more important then the church.

No. Women have legal protections under the First Amendment to get naked on stage and have money thrown their way in California.

Well it's not like millennials are getting laid on the regular, so might as well give them the next best thing.

YEEEAAAH Christian strip shows!

What's up with all the generic Ghost wannabes? Ghost fucking sucks and the unrelated 1996 "Demon's Are A Girl's Best Friend" at least didn't sound like a Eurovision entry. Metal sucks now, there's no character to it.

 

[ChickenGoesBawk]

Okay, but this is really embarrassing... seriously.
